Verizon has the iPhone!

Please excuse my ignorance, but does the AT&T iPhone send an incoming call to VM when sending an email or while on the internet?

Not when actively accessing the internet via AT&T's 3G network. You can actively access the internet and place/recieve calls at the same time via 3G network access with a GSM network, but not with a CDMA network.

You cannot actively access the internet and place/recieve calls with Verizon's CDMA network.

@celliott147: too funny...I apologize greatly about not specifying that. 🙂

@AS: Thanks for the explanation.

which landfill site are all the useless locked AT&T iPhone's going to end up in,

Who cares? It will go in the landfill closest to where you live.

Can anyone lend a hand in understanding the "mobile hotspot feature?" I heard it mentioned, but don't have a clue about it. Thank you for any input.

Basically the phone acts as a wireless router. Up to 5 devices can use it.

Those 5 devices also share the data plan so if you have capped data you have to watch usage.

Thank you for the info.

So this is an extra fee, typically?

Check out the antenna on it, it's different than the AT&T version.

Verizon currently offers unlimited data plans that are very popular, that combined with included free tethering will result in.....

AT&T offering the same thing.

Don't you just love capitalism, and competition.

I find that the reason people hate a capped data plan is NOT because they use a lot of data. People just don't want to have to think about it, and monitor it.

Tethering will be free on Verizon?

No.

Tethering will be free on Verizon?

Not sure. I am now confused.

Data Plan: AT&T - $15 / 200MB, Verizon - $15 / 150MB?

AT&T - $25 / 2GB, Verizon - $29.99 / unlimited?

AT&T - $45 / 2GB with tethering, Verizon - $49.99 / unlimited with 2GB tethering?

This has not been announced by Verizon yet, but I doubt tethering will be free.

Good job finding that link.

It would seem that for $49.99 one could get an unlimited data plan that would include 2GB of tethering.

Wow...great info. Thanks everyone!
